CRUSE includes only single stage trips of up to 20 km in a straight line or 30 km route distance. The total number of 2 way trips to work or education on a typical school day for KILDARE is 127,495. Because some trips are excluded from the analysis — long distance trips and business trips — the proportion of these ‘POWSCAR’ trips represented in CRUSE is 70% of the total: 89247 trips.

The analysis also includes cyclable trips for other purposes: shopping, social, personal and recreational, representing 107,712 trips in total.

The population of KILDARE is 208,923, meaning that 61% of the population regularly travel to work or study.

Trips by purpose

Because of the reliability of census-derived POWSCAR data, the statistics on this page focus on these trip purposes. In KILDARE, 48,705 daily trips (of <20km length) are represented in CRUSE for travel to work, 22,157 to primary education, 14,541 to secondary education, and 3,535 to tertiary education. These trips are shown in the graph below.

Trips by mode

The majority of trips to work and study (primary, secondary or tertiary education) are currently made by car (63%). Cycling represented 2.1% of the trips to work and study in the 2016 census.

The mode share of cycling for these trips is as follows, based on the Electoral Division in which each trip originates.

Trips by purpose and mode

Trips by purpose and mode are shown for purposes for which we have data from POWSCAR.

Car trips represent 72% of total trips to work. Educational trips have a higher proportion of trips by active modes (walking and cycling).

Trips by distance and mode

In KILDARE, the vast majority of cycling trips to work and study are for distances up to 10 kilometers, specifically NA% of the total cycling trips.

The following graphs show how work and educational trips by distance bands and modes of transport vary according to the CRUSE scenarios of future cycle uptake. Cycling trips increase in all of these scenarios, although some are more ambitious than others. The most ambitious scenario is Ebike followed by Go Dutch, Climate Action Plan, and Near Market.
